The Ano Nuevo water temperature is rather cold (12 °C). Although it will be cloudy today, air temperatures will be relatively mild, feeling like 14 °C, so feeling about the same in the water as out of it. A winter steamer or even a good quality spring wetsuit and neoprene boots should suffice. Wear a hood and gloves if you have not been surfing for a while.

Ano Nuevo water temperatures peak in the range 14 to 18°C (57 to 64°F) on around the 24th of September and are at their lowest on about the 7th of April, in the range 10 to 14°C (50 to 57°F). The maximum seasonal water temperatures at Ano Nuevo in the fourth week of September lend themselves to a 4/3mm wetsuit or a 3/2mm suit and 3mm neoprene boots. At its lowest in the first part of April, low water temperatures at Ano Nuevo are suited to a 5/4mm or 5/3mm good quality wetsuit with neoprene gloves and 3mm boots. You will need a hood if it's windy or the air is cold.
